Accor, the world’s largest hotel group in Lutruwita/Tasmania, is delighted to be named once again an Official Accommodation Partner of Dark Mofo 2020.
After a year’s hiatus, the midwinter solstice festival returns 5–15 + 21 June 2025, with an ambitious program of art, performance, live music, feasting and more.
Dark Mofo showcases large scale public artworks in the Dark Park art hub and across Nipaluna/Hobart, along with annual rites such as the sprawling Night Mass parties, the bountiful Winter Feast, the cathartic Ogoh-Ogoh burning, and the cleansing Nude Solstice Swim—taking place on the shortest day of the year.
Over the course of two weeks, Dark Mofo will take over the entire city. This includes rooftops, banks, bar vaults, deconsecrated churches and roofs. Dark Mofo is also extending its tentacles into a Launceston planetarium and a theatre.
